A class consists of 490 female and 510 male students. The students are divided according to their marks

Passed Did not

Pass

Female 430 60

Male 410 100

If one person is selected randomly, the probability that it did not pass given that it is female is:

(a) 0.06 (b) 0.12 (c) 0.41 (d) 0.81 (e) none of the preceding

A - ’pass’, Ac - did not pass, F - female, Fc- ’not female’=male.

To compute: P(Ac|F) =P(Ac∩ F)P(F)= (60/1000) / (490/1000) = 0.12
